More Information
Not much is known of this French artist who, like many of his countrymen, worked in Rome in the mid-18th century. He was known to have arrived there by 1760, and many of his surviving drawings, such as this one, are copies of paintings and other decoration in Roman churches; this drawing is a copy after Michelangelo's fresco in the Sistine Chapel. Ango also is known to have traveled to Naples with the artist Fragonard.
